God,
Tonight feels heavy. My mind won’t stop racing, and I’m just exhausted from all the worry and stress that’s been piling up.
You already know what’s keeping me awake—the things I keep turning over in my head, the anxiety that won’t let go.
I really need Your peace right now. Just calm me down. Slow my thoughts. Help me let go of all the stuff I can’t control anyway and remember that You’ve got it.
I’m confused, help me see clearly. I’m frustrated; give me patience. I am just worn out, let me finally rest. I need Your Spirit to quiet my mind so I can actually sleep and wake up ready to face tomorrow.
Please be close to me tonight. Keep the restless thoughts away, the negativity, the mental exhaustion—all of it. I want to trust You more instead of trying to figure everything out on my own.
Let me sleep well, without fear or tension, knowing You’re watching over me.
Thank You for always being there when I need You most. Cover my mind and heart with Your peace tonight—the kind that doesn’t make sense but somehow makes everything okay.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
Matthew 11:28-29 – “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”
